Slap my ass and tell me I'm pretty

“Slap my ass and tell me I'm pretty.” Bold, playful and unfiltered – just like the evening this candle calls for. The lettering on the black tin hides nothing and throws down the gauntlet straight away: either you have a sense of humour, or you reach for another candle.

Once lit, it warms the room with soft light and a scent you choose to suit your taste. Inside is hand-poured soy wax with a cotton wick – the flame stays soft and even all evening without soot, so the atmosphere lasts exactly as long as it needs to. You can choose sensual spice, woody Palo Santo, sweet gourmand notes, fruit punch or fresh citrus, or a pure unscented version.

To make it burn fully, let it melt right to the edge the first time you light it and keep the wick short – it will reward you with an even flame and no tunnel in the middle. Packed in a kraft box, it is a cheeky gift that delights and makes people laugh.

If you feel like turning up the heat, reach for Smells like sex or Heat Me Up – and you will find more hot pieces in the SPICY collection.
